Haciendas Andean Highlands

Location:
For innumerable ages, the plains of the south face of Cotopaxi have been famous for natural beauty and productivity. The microclimate that exists there has played host to countless human settlements and many diverse cultural developments most of which are still in existence and can be seen in the artesan markets and popular festivals.

During colonial times, this region was divided into large estates and lately, into fixes Haciendas (country estates) who had their own land to maintain which continues to this day. Hato Verde is part of this rich tradition whose house had been remodelled by the current owners in strict keeping with original materials and techniques. Now we can appreciate the impeccable masonary work on the walls, developing the colonial-cum-rustic style of the region. This generates a warm and inviting atmosphere with all the comforts and necessities of a boutique hotel.

The extensive hectares that surround the south face of Cotopaxi is the ideal location to enjoy this area of magnificent natural beauty with walks or horse-riding treks. Adults and children alike can enjoy the animals or simply relaxing in the outstanding surroundings. Hato Verde lets people take advantage of the tranquil location so that they can relax from the strains of the city. It is the ideal location to relax and to cleanse your soul and your health.

From the Hacienda, one can take advantage of the private entrance to the volcano that the Hacienda owns. It is private because the only tourists allowed through this entrance are those who are staying at Hato Verde. From the Hacienda, one can embark on tours either on horses or in vehicle towards the volcano. The park is free of pollution that plagues the cities. These are the types of activites that have gained Hato Verde numerous positive reviews in both national and international press.
